2.Raise the rear of machine up and support with jack stands (or equivalent support) just high enough to allow drive wheels to turn freely.

3.Remove the electrical connection from the seat safety switch, located under the bottom cushion of the seat. The switch is a part of the seat assembly.

4.Temporarily install a jumper wire across the terminals in the connector of the main wiring harness.

5.Start engine. Brake must be engaged and motion control levers out to start engine. Operator does not have to be in the seat because of the jumper wire being used. Run engine at full throttle and release brake.

6.Run the unit at least 5 minutes with the drive levers at full forward speed to bring hydraulic oil up to operating temperature.

Note: The motion control lever needs to be in neutral while making any necessary adjustments.

7.Bring the motion control levers into the neutral position.
